Exposing the underbelly of Armstrongism in all of it's wacky glory! Nothing you read here is made up. Every crazy, weird and wacky quote is straight from the pens of Armstrongite leaders or members who think they possess some insight into God and the Bible. What you read here is the up to date face of Herbert W Armstrong's legacy. It's the gritty and dirty behind the scenes look at Armstrongism as you have never seen it before!

God Speaks Out On The New Morality...oops...Malm Speaks Out On Good Sex

The apostle is weighing in on what makes for good and proper Christian sex (in marriage, of course.)

This are the things REQUIRED in addition to all the other myriad of laws apostle Malm demands that you be keeping.

1) A wife is almost always in a state of readiness for sex if her
husband is loving, caring and affectionate. The golden rule applies in
marriage; please others if you expect them to please you.
A good marriage and good sex starts when you wake up each day: Are
you grumpy, of a sour disposition, in a bad temper? Demanding, selfish,
controlling in too many little things? Learn to lighten up and ease
off, to be affectionate and cooperative with your spouse.
Are you a bully demanding obedience because your are the husband? or
demanding your “rights” as a wife?Then you do not deserve respect
because you seek to demand it instead of earning it.

If you really, really need to have sex and your partner does not then you need to sit down and explain why you NEED it!

Instead of demanding, sit down and carefully explain why it is needed
and ask for and discuss any input. Show R E S P E C T for each other if
you want respect yourself. Yes the husband, and that means that YOU
must set the example, and lead the way; you have no right to be a
bullying abuser in word or action. Yet the husband can and should also
observe and learn from the example of his wife.

When you men don't want to have sex you had better think about that more deeply. There is a really good chance you wife may be a "prophetess" in the kingdom and will be ruling over you. So it's better not to piss her off now!

Do you not know that many women have been called to be prophetesses by
Christ? Do you not know that in the Kingdom your wife may rule over
you? You had better be ruling the way that you want to be ruled
yourself! For we shall all, if we overcome, be a part of the bride of
Christ and we should all be ruling our families in the same manner that
we hope Christ will rule over us.

Clean sex is good sex! True Christians don't do smelly sex.

2) Nothing turns a person off as quickly as atrocious breath or a
stinky sweaty body. To keep your mate interested, and to prevent
infections: always be scrupulously CLEAN.
Take a shower before sex! Better yet; take it together!

Before you say Good Morning: Ask God to help you to choose your words
carefully, to keep you far from being peevish, demanding and mean
mouthed.

Husbands have NO rights within the marriage except to act for the good
of and in the best interest of the family at all times; in keeping with
all of his marriage vows.

Wives have NO rights within the marriage except to act for the good of
and in the best interest of the family at all times;in keeping with all
of her marriage vows .

AUTHORITY
The husband does have authority, even as god has authority. I am
writing about HOW that authority should be used; which is for the GOOD
of the whole family and NOT for personal advantage or personal ego
inflation.

The wife should obey her husband, even if it hurts her pride and interferes with what she desires.
If the husband uses his authority rarely and wisely, explaining and
consulting on matters with his wife and respecting her needs and input
and coming to agreement through wise instruction; then things will run
much better than demanding obedience.

Gentlemen, that is the difference between leadership and bullying.

A leader who is wise and leads by EXAMPLE and teaching; will have far more respect than a bully.
Having a meeting of minds; makes for a very satisfying meeting of bodies in marriage.

Something gives me the feeling that these are all life lessons that the apostle learned the hard way, and that if he had it all to do over again, these are all the mistakes he would try extra hard not to make again.

Take for example the following: "Are you grumpy, of a sour disposition, in a bad temper? Demanding, selfish, controlling in too many little things? Learn to lighten up and ease off, to be affectionate and cooperative with your spouse."

Unfortunately, the apostle certainly comes across on a regular basis as demanding and controlling in WAAAAY too many little things. It's too late to expect him to learn to lighten up and ease off at this point. He's an old dog and these are the only tricks he knows.

Now that he's covered Onan and let us know that it doesn't forbid masturbation, how much do you wanna bet he's through talking about that? Since he's divorced, he knows his right hand is his best friend and he also knows everyone else can figure this out.

I don't know why such a repressed anal retent as the apostle would want to cover the topic of sex in the first place. I would think that he would consider it to be mostly a distraction from his tight weekly schedule of six 18-hour days of wall-to-wall sabbath preparation.

It is my understandind that when Abraham and Moses were given religious rituals and practices to observe, they were already familiar with many of the them. They were being used by other (pagan) religions. What God had them do was "decontextualize" them, place a new meaning to them and use them in their new religion. With regards to circumcision, Abraham was not shocked and puzzled by the command from God. He did not say to God, "Let me see if I have this correct. You want me to cut off the end of my penis?" The Christian church did the same in the time of Constantine, he took pagan symbols, attached new meaning to them and incorporated them into Christianity. Armstrong made such a big deal when he spoke of something as being "pagan." But, what should you expect from someone who had more ego than education?

You people are disgusting! Why do you mock God's messengers? Mr. Malm is trying to wake up a sick Church of God that has abandoned the TRUTH! Perhaps you should heed the warning in scriptures on what happens to those that mock God's anointed. I don't want to be anywhere near you on judgement day when you receive the punishment you deserve!

James Malm is "god's anointed"? When did god anoint him? How did god anoint him? What makes you so sure that god really has anointed him? And which god are we talking about anyway?

Regarding the ACOGs, maybe you should read the self-appointed apostle's writings a little more closely. According to Malm, Herbert never had "The Truth." So how could the "church of god" abandon something it never had? How could it have "fallen asleep" if it never had the opportunity to be "awake" in the first place? My attempts to rationalize your conflicting statements points me toward the conclusion that you believe James Malm has assumed the mantle of the real one and only end time apostle and Herbert was just a cheap imposter. I'm sure we'd mostly agree on Malm's descriptions of Herbert, but Malm isn't any better, just different.

The pharisees weren't "god's anointed," either and Malm is nothing more than a modern pharisee. You'd do well to recognize that.
